How do you fix a leaking oil drain plug?

With JB Weld, of course.

Turns out you can also use it to make sure your axle bolts don't vibrate loose!

True or not.....BB reminds me of MotoF150.

Before trying the heat and hammer and eventually cracking the oil pan.....I would have tried some liquid wrench first...

And who the heck would use the weld stuff on an axle nut....what a dufus...

Funny thread for a few pages... :lol:

I take it everybody didn't read the thread enough to realize it was a troll.

It was funny to hear the no-gear view on those of us who wear gear and take road trips:
I sure am glad my bike doesn't make me look like a scuba diver butt-humping a roto-tiller when I'm cruising down the road.
